Castillo 5

5-meter-high beamed ceilings offer an extra sensation of its noble grandeur. Step out onto the balconies (there are three of them) and admire the rolling valley and the estate's verdant garden. One balcony even has a quaint bistro-style table – whether you're enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning breeze or trying the regional wine gifted by your lovely hosts, it's the ideal spot to relax in the Spanish rays. And speaking of the sun, all of the estate runs on sustainable sources like solar panels, which provide electricity, hot water, and underfloor heating. What we love most, however, are the impressive grounds. Enjoy an afternoon dip in the pool, there is also a pool for children, play a game of table tennis, or use a mountain bike and explore the trails leading into the Catalan countryside. The sleepy medieval village centre of La Torre de Claramunt is just around the corner, there you’ll find a few local eateries, a delicious bakery, and an 11th-century castle.
